Italian Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake with Blackberry Coulis

An Italian cheesecake is typically made with ricotta cheese. It is not overly sweet and slightly drier than a traditional cheesecake. This cake is best made the day before you want to serve it. The Blackberry Coulis really adds a nice touch. You can use frozen raspberries if you can find blackberries.

Green Zhoug

Zhoug is a bright green herbed condiment from Yemen that you will find at every restaurant or home in Israel. It is somewhat of a national chili paste. It is super spicy and fantastic added to any dip on the side. My favourite recipe is this one, from Ottolenghi. I love eating this alongside cooked tomatoes and tahini such as in the recipe Chicken Kebabs with Grated Tomato Harissa, Delicious Dish or with the Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini and Pomegranate, Delicious Dish.

Wildberry Pie Oat Bars

I really do love anything berry but especially when they come guilt free.  These decadent bars are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious.  They are not too sweet, just the way I like them and a great power snack. Feel free to make just blueberry or raspberry bars by subbing frozen or fresh raspberries or blueberries.

This easy simple dish is a perfect accompaniment to almost anything. It goes so well with a braised meat such as short ribs, brisket or pot roast. It also pairs nicely with a roasted bird like chicken or turkey and is delicious with fish as well. Not to mention that any vegetarian at your table would love this as a main course!
